Facial recognition technology: should we be worried?

San Francisco has become the first US city to ban law enforcement bodies from using facial recognition technology (FRT) in any way.

With police forces across the UK rolling out FRT trials - with the prospect of making it permanent - should we be worried about the technology's potential effect on our freedom?

An outright ban on FRT is moronic.

Shill

Time to start making wearing masks in public fashionable

This. Reactionary bullshit by people who don't understand it in the first place. There are a lot of conveniences to having a 1 to 1 system as a way of verification.

Why don't we just use finger prints?
Why do we have to be tracked with cameras everywhere we go?

There is literally no reason to implement such a thing in a free society when other perfectly viable methods of identification exists.

Fuck off nanny state /leftycuck/.
We all know you love big government protecting you, but it won't happen.
